Rookie defenceman Jorian Donovan scored his first AHL goal late in the game, as the loss, coupled with a Syracuse win tonight, put the Sens one point back of the Crunch for the final AHL North playoff spot, but with a game in hand.
After a scoreless opening period, Laval tallied first on a 5-on-3 power play in the second when Alex Barré-Boulet swept a shot home from the slot. On the very next shift, Laval doubled their lead when Lucas Condotta deflected a net-front feed past Leevi Merilainen to make it two goals in 17 seconds and a 2-0 Rocket lead.
Belleville began to battle back, but after a roughing call on Angus Crookshank, Laval converted on another power play at 16:22 when Laurent Dauphin tipped in another one from the crease, making the Rocket 3-for-3 on the man advantage. Jared Davidson then converted on a rebound off the end wall to make it 4-0 only 50 seconds later.
